Top 10 Games For Week 12

USC (8-2) at Oregon (9-1) - It is really ashame that the USC players that are there now are on probation for something that they didn't have anything to do with. But we know that how the NCAA rolls, full of crap if you ask me. The Trojans are sitting in first place in the Pac 12 South division with a 5-2 record in conference play, but can only play spoiler since they can't go to the Pac 12 title game due to probation. Oregon on the other hand is coming off a big time road win over Stanford as the Ducks take first place in the Pac 12 North. Now they will come back home to host USC on Saturday. The Trojans have reeled off two victories after there triple overtime loss to Stanford three weeks ago. The last time the Trojans visited Eugene ('09), they were blown out by Oregon 47-20.

Penn State (8-2) at Ohio State (6-4) - After a difficult week for the Penn State players they lost to Nebraska in Happy Valley last week 17-14. Penn State still controls its destiny in the Big Ten Leaders division but they will need to win starting this weekend in Columbus as Ohio State still is in the Big Ten Leaders race as will but must win Saturday and next week to have a chance. The Buckeyes are coming off a overtime loss to Purdue in West Lafayette. The Buckeyes have lost the last two times they have travel to West Lafayette now.

Nebraska (8-2) at Michigan (8-2) - Both teams bounced back with wins last week after losing two weeks ago as Nebraska lost at home to Northwestern and Michigan lost to Iowa in Iowa City. Nebraska held off a emotional Penn State team in Happy Valley 17-14 and Michigan went on the road and defeated Illinois 31-14. These two teams are tied for second place in the Big Ten Legends division with a 4-2 mark in conference play. So the winner of this game may still have a shot at the Big Ten Legends title but will need some help to do so.

Wisconsin (8-2) at Illinois (6-4) - Wisconsin still is in the Big Ten Leaders division race but will need to win out to win it starting this Saturday as they go on the road to take on a Illinois team that has now lost four conference games in a row after they lost to Michigan last week at home 31-14. Wisconsin is coming off a road win over Minnesota last week by the score of 42-13.

Oklahoma (8-1) at Baylor (6-3) - The Sooners are coming off a bye week where two weeks ago they defeated Texas A&M 41-25. But they lost their top receiver, Ryan Broyles for the season in that game. Now they travel to Waco to face Baylor a team that they have never lost to in school history, the Sooners are 20-0 all time against Baylor. Baylor is already bowl eligible and will be looking spoil Oklahoma's Big 12 title hopes as the Sooners will have to win out to win the Big 12 title.

Virginia (7-3) at Florida State (7-3) - The Noles have won five in a row after losing three straight games as they defeated arch rival Miami(Fl) last week in Tallahassee 23-19.
